JAN. 1, 1964: In the Cotton Bowl, quarterback Roger Staubach (above, No. 12) goes 21-of-31 for 228 yards but has minus-47 yards rushing as No. 1 Texas caps an 11-0 season with a 28-6 win over No. 2 Navy. After happening in back-to-back seasons, a No. 1-vs.-No. 2 matchup happens only eight times in bowl games from 1936 (the start of the Associated Press poll) until 1992 — the creation of the Bowl Coalition (a precursor to the BCS).
